For the weekend, the Wildcats’ top-performing boat finished 2-1. The crew’s second victory came against Tulsa, a dominating win that saw K-State’s time of 6:45.2 outpace Tulsa’s finish of 6:52.68 by more than seven seconds.

The weekly honor is the first awarded to a K-State boat since the 1st Varsity 8 earned the accolade on April 19, 2012.

K-State will look to keep the Kansas Cup in Manhattan for the fourth straight year this Saturday when the Wildcats face Kansas in the Sunflower Showdown in Kansas City.
